First Series. 



Tyler and Boston. — Mr. Humphries has a fine pointer in 

 Tyler, whose education, though somewhat neglected, did not 

 dever him from defeating Magiuuis's black and tan Gordon, 

 winner of second at State trials last year. Tyler had been 

 defeated in Members Stake hv Flossy, and then won second, 

 the Folsom prize. Dogs were turned down in cornfield, where 

 Flos? v. who was following her owner, had pointed a bcwiii 

 rOSfl hedge, alter all the other dogs had passed. The birds 

 were Unshed by order of judges and lit in cornfield badly 

 scattered, Boston, handled By Skannal, soon established a 

 point, and the bird was flushed, but uot shot at. Tyler 

 returned the compliment and the bird was shot, at and killed. 

 Tyler, retrieved handsomely and both dogs were staunch to 

 wing and shot. The held having been drawn blank, a long 

 round was mad. for another succession of field, where birds 

 were reported m»re plentiful. In high sedge grass near a 

 pond a bevy was flushed be the spectators, and, working 

 ou single birds each dog scored a. flush. Along a line of fence 

 Tyler made another point, and as his speed and nose exceeded 

 his opponent's, they were called up and heat given to Tyler. 

 Down one hour and "forty-five minutes. 



Frank H. and Mask, handled by Short and Jacksou. Mr. 

 Jttckson, having withdrawn all his entries, Frank H. had a 

 bye. 



Foreman ano BLUE Monarch were put down at I8s05 

 noon, Curry handling Blue, Monarch and Tallman Foreman. 

 Blue Monarch and Jenny land are the. property of Mr. E. H. 

 Condon of this State, and were turned over to their handler, 

 Mr. Curry, only the Jay previous to the race. He of course 

 was at a great disadvantage, not knowing even the commands 

 necessary to work them. Foreman is a splendid animal and 

 destined' to rank higher in the list, of prine winners. The heat 

 was a short one, as Blue Monarch showed no evidence of 

 training, and a want of speed, style, nose and obedience, 

 Running across a corn hold alongside of a ditch, Foreman 

 pointed a hew. and Blue Monarch ordered up to back, noi 

 Qnlj refused to do so, but, rushed iu and flushed. The birds 

 were shot and killed with each barrel by Tallman, and Fore- 

 man retrieved handsomely, while Blue Monarch sent to re- 

 trieve the other did so very badly and mangled his bird. 

 Do:;*, called up and Foreman wins Down twenty-five 

 minutes. 



Count Noble aXIi Losxe.— Lome withdrawn and heal 

 given to Count Noble 



i'licr o -Dav and Dinks, in the hands of Short and Fon- 

 taine, were put down at 12,-10. Dinks is one of those sell - 

 w illed pointers that lees been hunted with the hounds and ac- 

 quired maeh of their pure eussedness. He takes a good 

 lu'ng as a thing he had

 been marked down ill grass bordering e pond, the dogs wer 

 sent iu, and Dinks immediately eoi kseiewed on a point, -■ 

 snips' WOS flushed immediately' iu front of him, and he wa 

 ordered on. Passing over his 'point, the judges Hushed a ouai 

 showing that Dinks "had sense same a- folfca' 1 Psep havin 

 meanwhile, exhibited herself to the spectators in the matter o 

 speed, stele, and quartering, now came up and dropped on 

 beautiful point. Jier handler Hushed and fired botubarre 

 without orders, which had the elt'ect he evidently intended.. 

 lus opponent's dog, for Dinks, who was working around th 

 pond, roading a rail, came running to heel and flushed tw 

 l.ir.b Dogs called up, and heat given Peep-o'-Day. Down 



Fi.ossv and Turk, Jr. were put down at 12:50. Flossv was 

 handled by Mr. Renaud and Turk by Mr. Leucht. Working 

 on toward birds, Flossy immediately set the pace, and dis- 

 counted her opportunity in speed, style and quartering. On 

 the edge of a pond. Flossy pointed, arid the bird being fired at , 

 Turk broke shot, Dogs called up and Flossv wins. Down ten 

 minutes. 



Victor and Gordon. — Gordon having had a fit the day pre- 

 vious, and being in no condition, was withdrawn by his 

 owner and Victor given the heat. 



i-'mrs ASD Jenny Lixd were east off at 1:05 P. M. Tail- 

 man handling the former and Curry the latter. Neither doe 

 displayed much style, Jenny ranged well, but was evidently 

 dencieut in training. She has all the speed necessary, ancl 

 after her present handler has used her awhile, will show a 

 marked improvement. Chips is a heavy built, surly pointer 

 who has evidently seen his best days. He has been cu 

 handled by Tallman, who is capable of getting al! there is 01 

 of a dog. Chips quartering to windward, pointed in grab., 

 patch. Jenny ranging wild flushed single, bird in field, and 

 gave wilful Chase. Dogs ordered up, and heat given to 

 Chips. Down fifty minutes. Making for a negro cabin the 

 party sat down to lunch and cool off, as weather was very 

 warm. 



Av ant's London and Harrison's London. — The first, han- 

 dled by his owner, and the latter by Tallman, were put down 

 at C:eS P. M. This was the race of 'the. day, and the specta- 

 tors crowded up to witness it. The Canadian's London was 

 fresh from his victory at High Point, N. C. where he won the 

 championship iu the free for all at, the Eastern Field Trials. 

 He is a magnificent animal, and well deserves the laurels he 

 has won. It is barely possible that the difference iu cover 

 and climate may have had something to do with his defeat 

 here, but the dbg that administered it is a good one, and is 

 ready to stand up with the best. Turned down to the south- 

 we:-,; ii ,: ■.■.ormi. 1,-1 tl.il I: with burrs, some magnificent rang- 

 ing, quartering, and speed was witnessed. Honors were about 

 easy with speed slightly in Avant's London's favor. Quar- 

 tering to the south the latter made a magnificent stand on a 

 bevy. Harrison's London responded with a handsome baok. 

 A bird was killed aud retrieved. Working down in sedge 

 grass Avant's London scored another point on a single bird, 

 while Harrison's London got in a bad flush. On birds run- 

 ning up fence row, both dogs did some beautiful roading, and 

 Harrison's London working too eagerly got in another flush, 

 which was responded to immediately' by one from his oppo- 

 nent. Birds haviDg scattered in heavy marsh lands, the dogs 

 were called up and carried eastward in fields alongside of 

 railroad tracks. After some hard work over heavy ground, 

 and one or two small fields proving blank, both dogs finally 

 succeeded in flushing a bevy. Working- on single birds, Har- 

 rison's London dropped on point and was handsomely backed 

 by Avant's London. A bird was shot and winged, and well 

 roaded and retrieved by Harrison's London. Crossing a fence 

 into short grass Avant's London pointed a single hird, which 



flushed to order. Dogs called iu and Avant's London 

 givcu the heat. Down two hours and ten minutes. 



Pink B, and Lorne.— Lorne withdrawn, and Piuk B. wins 

 the heat, This closed first series of heats. 

 Second Series. 



Frank H. and Tvi.er, the former handled bv Snort aud 

 the latter by Humphries, were put down at 4:10. Tyler was 

 eager for business, but was overmatched at the start, The 

 dogs were turned down on a covey that, had been marked 

 down in an ..pen cornfield. Frank H. struck out at, a, rattling 

 pace, and whirled around to wind on a beautiful point, aad 

 when the bird was shot he dropped hnndsomelvand retrieved 

 to order. Tyler, hustling through the cornstalk, pointed, but 

 no bird was found. Frank H. made another handsome point; 

 the bird was flushed to order and the heat given Frank It. 

 Down seven minutes. 



DOUBT Noble and FOREMAN, Waters and Tallman, hand- 

 lers, went down at fcSQ. Both dogs struck out at a go dpi « 

 Passing through a hedge the judges Hushed a single bird that 

 lit alongside of the hedge and ran. Foreman and Count b»th 

 loaded, and Foreman pointed. Co Hit Noble ordered to back, 

 blinked badly and failed to back. Working down in the flats, 

 Count pointed, and Foreman called up, backed handsomely. 

 No bird was found. Quartering to left, Foreman pointed and 

 this time. Count backed, It being lale and birds getting 

 scarce, the dogs were called up. to be put down in unfinished 

 heat on following day. 



Tm-RSDAY, 



This was the warmest day of the week, and both handlers 

 and dogs felt the effects of it before the dav was over. The 

 dogs were turned down ill a field southeast, .,, town at S:15 

 A. M., and soon began work in earnest. Count, working up 

 wind alongside of a ditch, pointed a small bevyi a the oppo- 

 site Side from Foreman. Ord rod over, Force, an ovidenfh 

 smelled birds; end refused lo beck uutil he had stolen a point. 

 Birds flushed without being shot at. ( h deivd dov. a thediteh. 

 Count dropped in' corn, furrow and wpa handsomely backed 

 by Foreman, ( Udered to llu-li. Waters failed to hud the bird. 

 ravine, Count repeated the same performance, and 

 was again credited with a false point, but the spectators 

 afterward flushed a bird near where the dog hud pointed. 

 Two or three birds having been marked down in au open 

 cotton patch, the dogs w-ere turned toward them, and Fore- 

 man scored a Hush, which was soon after o/Eset bv Couutdoing 

 the same thing. Some beautiful loading was then done bv 

 Foreman, who dually established his point, and was awarded 

 the heat. Down twenty-three minutes. 



Peep-o'-Day and FlwsSv were put down at .S;4Ti. Short 

 le i died Peep and Renaud Flossy. 'Peep is possibly the hand- 

 somest bitch iu America, and has a magnificent record on I he 

 bench, the Held and in the kenuel. She was not in good work- 

 ing order for the heavy cover and warm climate, she was ill 

 and her handler claims she has been petted so much as to 

 render her somewhat fractions. She excelled Flossy in style 

 aud quartering, but Flossy offset, these in speed and nose. 

 The ground was not suitable lor quiek work, but Flossy 

 seeiucd indifferent to its character, and gained the good will 



of everyone by taking cockle burrs, briers, corn aud cotton 



with perfect nonchalance and making lierlhsf point on a. Hock 



of doves that were feeding in a cornfield fully torn yards 

 off. f'nfoit'.iuatch for the dogs, an over-zealous handler of

 beautifully a bevy or two, Soffu tall chasing must have been 



indulged ill, as scattered birds were found frilly half a. mile 

 apart. The handler was promptly interviewed, and vanished 

 with his mongrels. 



One of those rare scenes that palm, us delight in picturing 



was afforded bv this bra .f intelligent animals/ Ranging 



fulh two hundred yards across aji open peaptttcb. Flossy 

 suddeuH whirled on a point upwind' and came to a .lead 

 stand. Peep, nearly a hundred yard, off, caught sichf of her 

 and made a baek in her handsomest style, while a crowd ol

 dogs were worked around the edge of a peapareh, and a larg. 

 bevy was flushed by the spectators and lit iu weeds am

 Finally Flossy pointed staunch aud a point claimed by tit 

 handler of Peep was also allowed. This was shaipwo'rkoi 

 Short's part, who flushed, shot and killed without order? 

 Both dog.- dropped to wing and shot. It was asserted, b>

 point, but as the judges were dismount, d in high weeds the;

 Sue pointed a single bu'd, which was Bhol and handsomely

Coleman's London and Pink B., handlers Avant and 

 Short, were put down at 2:15. From the ma nn er in which 

 London had defeated his formidable namesake of the day 

 previous, it was thought he would have, an easy tiling with his 

 saucy little competitor; but the race proved to be one of the 

 most hotly contested of the entire meet. This was partly 

 owiug to the jockeying of the two handlers. Avaut had been 



pomised fifty dollars bv the owner of London it he worked 

 _is dog I'airjy and won the championship. Short, had trained 

 both dogs aud could jockey London if he so desired. It w-as 

 plain that neither was worked judiciously. Turned down 

 where some birds lit in some briers at the head of a hollow, 

 Pink B. scored a flush, end was closely followed by London 

 further down. Roading up toward a fence, Pink got in a.
